Of the single estate teas I brought back from Sri Lanka this one went first. It’s a low grown but doesn’t have the depth and weight of some of the Ruhunu teas like Lumbini and New Vithekande which I’ve discovered since.At the time I preferred it to the higher grown teas but I’ve since learned that really Lover’s Leap and Mahadagotte are far better drunk black.Would pick this up again if I found a tin.All these dilmah tins are great for storage. The double lids make a very reliable seal.

60-70 Good solid tea

80-90 A bit special

There’s a time and a place for any tea above 60 which makes the number thing a bit of a mockery…
